I understand where your comin from James….but as has already been said, if ppl didn’t want or couldn’t take criticism then they wouldn’t/shouldn’t post in the first place….I must admit tho, I’m a bit of a softy and rather than hurt someone feelings if I don’t quite understand a poem or don’t know how to comment on it then I tend to just leave it….it’s a cop out I know but that’s just me :oops: And also, it’s very difficult to criticise someone’s work, as it’s seen thru their eyes, and their interpretations……anyway, I’m lovin the stuff I’m seeing on here recently :D
